about a former army journalist who's taken a walk of almost a thousand kilometers after being in the wrong and hopes of talking people out of support of war. oh shaw love it barrington or something you can't have one without the other one and that's the same way if you're going to support the troops you've got to support the war or if you don't support it needs keep your mouth shut about it yeah don't need it out get get be quiet if you can't. support it like it be quiet and a message from the president of the united states george w. bush good morning the generals are trying to divide america in break our will and we must not go another just succeed we will defeat the jurors every where they make your skin and we will leave a more hopeful world for our children and our grandchildren are going wrong clear and changing our goal is victory. veterans for peace in chapter one eighteen in

salt lake city is peace justice organization we basically. work with all soldiers and all veterans to bring about peace some of us all even actually march with him all the way today. and one guy who has it and are protesting he was is an army ranger. it started out pretty tense and actually if you guys are going to do this with you know what this is a u.s. ranger man telling us it would seem to say look we're not. going to. go the conflict. but he kept watching us to his credit so. you're not for reading and writing but your morning systematic. yeah i think there's a middle ground. and i think we agree on everything i've said here given everything up until the point of what will bring stability. and i believe that stability with

us for. a small difference of opinion that's marshall himself i have i have a lot in common with him i support a lot of his views but the people they had an opportunity to encounter in the protest bush lied kids died michael moore you know fahrenheit nine eleven it's things like that they're completely to the left and jaded but more so i find him very you know very charming intelligence clean cut individual. no animosity for him you know and eventually yes i think if this were a perfect world we would be occupying iraq oh there was another counter protester bringing the total counter protesters to three and he was a young kid he had here to camouflage on but i don't think he was in the military those people demonstrating that showed their disgrace to our country once again search for that stuff they need to get out of here and go live with the tears for all i care. because i said. what are they doing to people to troops that are just

going home where they don't know that they're saying you know what you guys what you're doing is bad when all we're doing out there is trying to go out there and make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make sure we can live here trying to make so people don't come here and kill innocent people while building. trying to do feel like it's feel like there's a spin on the same you know. just to see. i'm no i've never actually thought about the subject before so i can't say really have an opinion. or be neutral stance. but we do this american people we just go by our business like nothing. now i don't have an opinion because i don't. listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqi except that we're over there yeah you know like it might be out there after these of those. combat. you can start

a discussion or debate with someone that it was you know sort of to be very draining because you do this big protest you're sacrificing all this time and energy. to be doing other things with instead of people really. think a lot of people have a connection like people. in the modern medicine coffee. in the car sit back turn on the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers down by to be managed in the center of the town. evening news comes on the t.v. . two marines are killed planning to die each day attack. both good old bean. two marines are killed two families left to greet.

how many are die overseas. in a war that has started in the. brain and the brain just coming campaign. way to. move the raid. where use to yank the old way is to create days day the end of the second week of walking. through. the wood from above and beyond don't get a return to. build a wall with. their firm but from the east there. was even a korean war the only solar cookies from our moment my sister of a particular will go wrong in a slogan it's all the rubble for you i don't know you're a good oh oh so we go a bad business day by day. giving

a little too warm so far away from the clergy to his side from students not to stand for kids become soldiers modern. men and women to die first. to know all that was starting. in the brain and the brain just coming that means. whaley's be a whole layer in their brain. may read d.h. told me the raid. mazie a way to raise. their walk might be over right now and i don't know through yesterday just in from the low when life was so to the ultrasound today and. are so hoping and

praying that that would eliminate cancer of the sisters and. it's born or some. but it wasn't so thank you it's probably parents were right. there in start with chris and she's trying to learn more from come on. i'm coming home. because i should be there those who for years. really need to be there for me but it's. slow as important as this one since only one. stone.

i knew he wanted to quit because he wanted to be a good dad and he wanted to be there but i also knew that this walk is why he was a good guy as he said while. he walk in get a second and keep walking for very little or this kind of got up the next day and was. thinking that maybe that would be the us they were the war i was really happy they could get out and he could keep walking even was scared that ends and devastated with the news. i was charged twelve felony counts for a possible total sense of one hundred fifty years so with good behavior i'd be

getting out of two thousand and eight. when i realized that the war was wrong or with their life which i realized when i would view earliest sections and enough people i then felt that what i could do was expose twenty three years of lies by pushing the truth and that it might help to slow people to war but specter there were seventy thousand top she could. they would have to use the full extent of the law against me and that there would be basically a life sentence. that's what nixon had a right to put to trial i just thought it might help that i was ready to go to prison if it might help i told him. the black list for the rest of your life it will be on your records and profile you and. at that point he said well that's the case and it will be that i'll be sitting in prison and i know that i did not order my hands it is just i just want to get people in the military this was think it was

a lot and have to evaluate what you're being told us to do. as the guardsman wielder goes around and even the mattress we didn't think they were loaded with would be a loaded gun yet i can't resist it was a college one right why would they have loaded guns to the guardsmen on the end of the line and decided to not fire in the direction everybody else was but to turn ninety degrees and pick me off while i was running for cover in the bullet hit me in the the abdomen just below my belt and it knocked me through the ear and to the ground like someone swinging a sledgehammer like a baseball bat and hitting you like a cartoon image were flew in the air and landed on the ground i was shot a second time by a guardsman who testified in court that he knew had already been shot once and when they asked him so why did you shoot him he said well everyone else was shooting him . do you really think you could happen again yes i think we're doing i think it's

just waiting to happen because it's been a long time so they can pull this stunt again and i believe it was a stunt i believe this was planned to stop protesting and the more that protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and today just skiers run kobe. is my hero and his example really got me into all of this. i remember that he said once that there was a palpable turning point when public opinion really shifted against the war and it marked the beginning of the end of the vietnam war and he said that was kent state washington till he came to this part and i could discuss a little bit more at the border and you miles but i really wanted to walk through zion national park the native americans who live there consider the old footage. and even the ones in my years when they came to the first explorers said surely

this is god's first home this for the sake. oh in a new star i spent nearly every summer a minute. or so i couldn't walk you through perkins was on. this trip with the. key to everything certainly changed a lot of people short of the weather god but he still and though it was a good parents were not because there was some reasonable doubt. or some reasonable hope that you two have parents who are. really sort of that. you could make a difference and this was worth so i think i just like the idea of no more bombs no more screaming no war. no more deaths from like bombs in nuclear warfare

nuclear north korea nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that nukes to me here . she seems good cook well she was much better than more god for our team. during the walk we kept getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be there for i really care is there any is there anything i can do and sound and my sister in law got the idea that we have balloons there representing everybody that wanted to be there. from all over the world from europe from the middle east from australia from china but we've got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support for setting out of the shoes for me just tears that real reality for me there's certainly a lot of emotion that goes through when you start reading the names of looking at names and beliefs and wonder in the story. why not sign up thank you so much for coming out. and who are so great for the wonder for paper better than such

a big help on the spot. so great that the fate of black family cuts. i'm. never ever ever ever see this kind of. a run ever heard of woman close never never have a grant trying to come close they will never enjoy all of the great things start next year provided. for us to be here in a matter of the first day i said you know marshall really had get bigger. but less than that one wanted to be we had to be thank you for the privilege i'm lucky to get marshall for reminding us of our duty.

as they neared the border i was excited i mean this is the slate in the film walk and did it. despite all the challenges. nobody believed the utah would support peace this much and it has sold all those people back in washington d.c. with all the hearts and warmongers know that utah supports peace. that is the end of this story. because they got caught up in the victory. right now because like a wonderful victory made a five hundred miles and it's thanks to all you into my family and all the wonderful people have helped me to dog has walked almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to be you time than right now so wonderful thing. but it. was very much tempered by the sobering thought that the war was still going . anyone wearing

a baseball cap are you coming out to take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to is not mandatory and then you want to watch the sun you can slow keep the cap until taps is completely played and then you can put it back on any questions. thank you. joe don and the buttons for peace want to be comforted by dakota for both of them if they do the show don't have to look at the new stuff for us we are going to go california. today is their chance today and i would just like to thank. all of those that have served and all that are serving some of those that were honoring to do any harm represented by don't spy group conference there. that's how my son came home this

is a picture of him as he turned twenty one. it was his last birthday. today and i asked you all to help me carry my grief. because it's very hard to carry myself. and if we learn to grieve as a nation. i think that this will help and seal as a nation so one is the trans day. we honor on the family thank you. thank you thank you. martin luther king said a time comes when silence is betrayal a time comes like the time we're in right now at this moment. when anything other then raise your voice opposition to this. is a betrayal of this country that we the so don't take me to one side mrs big i want

you to meet wrong. and. i had no idea and also there's frank who pick right in front of me you just have this or someone who spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here that should be part of the peace process right now in golf in bringing an end to this for a children's hospital healing this nation and committing ourselves to never allow what happened in the iraq war in vietnam to ever happen again i told him that i'd seen before the fourth of july in iraq and it really made him happy you know right you want to honor to know you'll remember what i knew i had a right so yeah that's a sure point really felt like the whole interview come full circle. that you're sitting in iraq. for the fourth of july about roag proving.

that seem to how he dealt with the ghosts of war but protesting that he just hit with such force and that's exactly what i needed to do. and so following his example. because it's only. so reasonable that i had written to him as a viet nam veteran who's been in this real care for almost four years it's an honor to call you my family my friends and so forth it's. a good life you know honor. thank you. i'm driving down right now to go turn in all my equipment and so i can get out of the army the army offered me a twenty thousand dollars reenlistment bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum tax-free twenty thousand dollars after iraq i knew how my loyalties can be abused and so while i still feel that my service is honorable and still for other people

service is honorable eyes. could not realist no matter how much money they offered me the shift in numbers that we've seen recently says did you like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of the war starting to question the war and starting to question bush's leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with marshall's watch and i don't i don't know how many utahns arsehole himself swayed to the other side it certainly wasn't just the walk but there were tons of other people doing things there's military families speak out in very active in salt lake there's rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good. to see. the children. and. i have to call attention to that dark angel in their midst and you have to be

prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that and you do it nonviolent me you do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and then you do it nonviolent they do it lovingly hell i even try to do it with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. nothing's going to change until a guy's coming home and except the back as soon as guys come home and say you know don't count me on the back because things got change we fix this things will change i'm a different scrutiny now i. was trying to change things or not i just had to do it i got to do it. just me i think it's maybe it's like spit in the ocean to know if it's yours you do what you can you have to make your own state.

it's from your own heart. and i still my ankle and i'm down has made that a person should breeze sweet she's a sickness in store this time. push will bring in our brothers sisters home fight for peace march for peace stand for peace league. to play a game from. it is a time of hope our time to believe that peace can come that we can and just for that we can change the priorities of our country that we can move in a new and dynamic direction that we can make this an america that we can all be proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and women in iraq a must not be i'm very tied to. the only regret. is that i didn't do the currently at least.

the sooner the twentieth there the walk. and i. got to finish up i hope it's a good idea i didn't know what to expect when i got involved with the peace we stand here for peace to excite it really renewed my faith in people and humanity and it's really reinforced my patriotism activists have a lot of different reasons for getting involved but in the end it all comes down to this it comes down to the hope that what you're doing to commit the world a better place and we could maybe even save a life. because. if what we're doing could save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment all the sacrifice all the pains of public protest. to children. it's all worth it. in that's the whole point it's the sincere hope and conviction that nobody else has to do. are

you going to do a day. like it so i can step back from a record three months ago. when i was going good wife he had stayed by utah. let me give me a block to come to the nation's capital a suicide like that for me really does look like her make sense the same. until it's clear the. snow.

sleet. snow mr c. . h. signs come up. time. to. be fun. to. see. who. to.

i see. the friedman. he says. he. was sad to. see the long and small.
